It depends: Palpitations is the word patient use to describe a fluttering sensation in the chest caused by skipped heart beats or rapid heartbeats. Patients with no heart disease can often experience palpitations. Sometimes they are brought on by anxiety, fatigue, caffeine and cough and cold medicines. Beta blockers are sometimes prescribed if the palpitations are annoying or very frequent. SEE bit.ly/1vlj5

Anxiety and Buspar (buspirone): Buspar (buspirone) may not be an effective enough med for significant anxiety. Recommend you talk to you doctor and explain what effect and side effects you are getting. Buspar (buspirone) is not a popular med because it's effects may be too subtle if you have serious anxiety. Please also remember the long term answer for most anxiety is to see a Psychologist expert in treating anxiety and trauma--look for someone EMDR
